In this episode of Altars & Ashes, Basil Desmond Fleming, Robbie Stringer, and Austin Tucker dismantle one of the great modern lies, the myth of neutrality. Every culture bows to something. Every law, every classroom, every household is an altar, either to Christ or to idols.

Drawing from Abraham Kuyper’s famous declaration that “there is not a square inch” outside Christ’s claim, the hosts explore why neutrality isn’t possible, biblically or practically. From Joshua’s command to “choose this day whom you will serve” to Christ’s own words that “whoever is not with Me is against Me,” Scripture leaves no neutral ground. It’s Christendom or collapse.

The conversation moves from theological foundation to cultural application:

* Defining the Myth: how “values-neutral” education, “secular” government, and “pluralist” tolerance all disguise rival worship.

* Tracing the Ashes: what happens when societies pretend neutrality—Rome’s decadence, Europe’s apostasy, America’s moral drift.

* Issuing Field Orders: worship daily, catechize your children, build institutions that honor Christ, and refuse to bow to false gods.

Packed with biblical conviction and historical clarity, this episode calls believers to reject passive Christianity and recover a robust, public faith. Neutrality is rebellion dressed as moderation; Christ’s crown rights demand every inch.

Field Order Mantra: Worship. Build. Resist. Confess.
